2 Minute Recap and Discussion Topics
Silver Surfer (1991) #53 and Avengers (1992) #346
- Dar-Benn is another character that is very thinly developed
- Dar-Benn’s presence would seem to hint at power struggles within the Kree Empire as a major reason for the conflict in The Marvels
Captain Marvel #9
- Sort of an inverted “Save the princess” story. Weird, though.
- Lila Cheney! Has been around for decades. Started in New Mutants.
- The prince is a bit of a two-dimensional character. Noble and idealistic with chiseled abs. Could be the Captain Marvel equivalent of Moon Knight’s Arthur Harrow.
Ms Marvel (2014) #1-5
- Very lighthearted and delivered with no cynicism or snark
- A really interesting insight into modern life for a Pakistani-American family
- Good is not a thing you are. It’s a thing you do.
Photon (2022) #1-5
- What a weird comic story
- Lots of movement, but almost no action
- Does revisit many eras of Photon’s life, and seems to be trying to act as a reintroduction of the character. Feels like it is trying to do for Monica Rambeau what the 2012 Captain Marvel series did for Carol Danvers
